south bay and you're seeing some of that work its way in towards san jose. some of that sneak up along the peninsula, as well. most of it moving further and further to the south as the core of the low continues to move in that direction. it looks like we are going to dry things out. how will that set things up for the weekend? we'll talk more about that in a minute. right now a traffic check with gianna. >> we got first reports of an accident from chp westbound 580 right around eden canyon. lanes may be blocked. so you might see some delays -- actually already seeing yellow on our sensors. this is westbound 580 around eden canyon. we'll keep you updated on that. the left lane is blocked through that area. earlier stall on the bay bridge. we'll get an update on that plus mass transit. but right now back to the news. >> thank you. we begin at 6:00 with a driver who has been arrested for due after hitting a chp officer in san jose this morning. the officer is in the hospital with multiple injuries. kiet do joins us from i-880 where ice may have been a

factor. kiet, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, frank. you can see it right here still on the ground. half an inch to possibly an inch thick in some spots here. this is just off the 880 northbound at the bascomb avenue exit. this is quite a sight to see right here in the santa clara valley. the road itself looks okay. but you're looking at the area that's got dirt and grass here. so that's what's kind of keeping the ice on the ground. we have earlier pictures of the chp officer arriving at valley medical center. he went there with leg injuries and possible facial injuries as well as a result of an accident that happened about 1:30 this morning. chp was responding to reports of ice on the ground. it shut down both directions of 880 at bascomb avenue. it just happened to be localized right there. the officer was helping out another driver when he was hit by that alleged drunk driver. a chp spokesman said they got a lot of calls in at that time. >> we have had a couple calls on both directions here near bascomb avenue with the hail because it looks like it's just

basically in this area right here. down the street it's dry as anything. so i don't know, just an isolated incident right here. >> reporter: and we were driving around in this area and it was coming down hard at times. you can see here it's still collected out on the -- not on the asphalt but the grassy areas, as well. so you would think that we're somewhere in the sierra but no, we're in west san jose. 880 is back open. everything is back to normal. >> it looks like truckee but you are in san jose. kiet do live in san jose, thank you. the fate of barry bonds is in the hands of a jury. they will give deliberations at 8:30 this morning in the slugger's perjury trial. closing arguments were yesterday. bonds is accused of lying to a grand jury in 2003 about using steroids. if the convicted he could face prison time or home confinement. it is 6:02. a bit of good news for a giants

fan attacked outside dodger stadium. he is now improved in stable condition but is in a medically- induced coma. he suffered a skull fracture and abuse bruising to the front of his brain last week. a family friend told cbs 5 he is able to follow simple voice commands now. the giants will hold a fundraiser on monday against the dodgers at the game. the san francisco giants at home playing their first home game as world champions and will make it official by raising the pennant before the game. anne makovec is at at&t park with a preview of the celebration. i should say a whole weekend of celebration. anne, good morning. >> reporter: thousands of people have been waiting months for this moment when our world series champions return home to at&t park to the season opener starting this afternoon. first pitch at 1:35. you can see the pitching mound there ready for action after a little bit of hibernation here at at&t park. here's a look at the rundown

for today. gates at the park open at 10:35. at 12:45 the championship flag will be raised. first pitch at 1:35. national anthem will be sung by the band, train. i'm here with the vice president of sales and marketing. mario alioto, thank you for joining us. very exciting day for you. >> reporter: opening day is always exciting and can't believe we're actually here. feels like we just finished in texas a couple weeks ago and here we are with another season. opening day is all of us a great time. >> so speaking of that, the fans have kind of had the chance to go into hibernation over a few months. the last time of course they won a game, it was away. so how do you think that's going to affect the crowd and the mood here today? >> just by the feeling of the fans all of us over the off season, which didn't really feel like an off season, there is so much excitement. i think fans are definitely ready to see the team today. when we had fanfest a couple of weeks ago, over 40,000 people.

so i'm not sure our fans have been in hibernation because there's been so much excitement in the bay area since the world series victory. >> our viewers are seeing that now a little replay. can't see that moment enough. >> reporter: a lot of people have also been talking about security. we're expecting almost 42,000 people here today. can you tell us anything about that? >> i think overall, at&t park is going to be a fun -- it's always a fun place to come to and we'll be ready for a big crowd. i'm sure fans will be coming out early because ceremonies start at 12:45. after waiting over 50 years for a world championship victory you don't want to miss the ceremony. come out early. >> reporter: if you can point out quickly where is this championship flag going to be flying? >> our flag court so far in right center field. we have one flagpole that's still without a flag. >> reporter: you see that back there. that's where the flagpole without the flag. that's where we are going to see the championship flag in

just a few hours. so exciting, mario alioto, thanks for joining us. and you're going to be back here at 6:30, as well. so if you have any questions would you like me to ask him, email us at mornings@cbs5.com. >> how about tickets? ask him for tickets. >> reporter: are there some tickets left? very difficult to get tickets right now. all three games this weekend are sold out. >> yeah. >> all right. anne, thanks very much. anne makovec in san francisco. >> stubhub is $2,000. >> bundle up if you are going to the game. >> it's going to be cold at the game today and we are trying to get the showers out of the way. we still have some showers, folks, in the bay area showing up. most of that further to the south, though, as you can see along the peninsula, redwood city, palo alto. you have some scattered showers here, also into san jose. we have seen some thunderstorms popping up producing some hail this morning. so that's definitely a possibility early on but i think as we head in toward the middle of the day in the afternoon, about game time, skies going to part and we are

going tok looking good. partly -- going to be looking good. partly cloudy skies, 30s and 40s around the bay area, still scattered showers down to 33 degrees in fairfield right now 38 in san rafael, 42 in san jose. this afternoon, let's plan on those temperatures up in the 40s and 60s. -- 50s and 60s. high pressure on the weekend should be nice. let's check traffic with gianna. >> let's get updated on this accident in dublin. westbound 580 around eden canyon. chp, all lanes are open delays should be thinning out westbound 580 at eden canyon. couple cars involved, all the activity on the right shoulder. of course, eastbound not showing any delays. west downed still slow through that portion. if you are making your way to the bay bridge this morning, traffic friday light. metering lights are still off. 18 minutes from the carquinez bridge to the maze. no delays past the toll plaza. you are clear across the upper deck into san francisco. also 880 looking very nice this morning in both directions traffic heading northbound through oakland, no delays

southbound heading into hayward, things moving nicely. san mateo bridge also problem- free. mass transit right on time. coming up in my next report i'll tell you how you're going to get to the game using mass transit. back to you. >> thank you. 6:08. a countdown to shutdown. the progress lawmakers are making to reach a budget deal. >> a twist in the case of jaycee dugard. the surprised plea from the alleged kidnapper and claims against the grand jury coming up.

this was so easy. that was quick. no envelopes to lick. no deposit slips to fill out. a lot less paper to deal with. i like that. i just feed in my check... feed the cash right in. and... -boom. -there it goes. it read my checks, counts my cash... adds it all up. how does it do that? it even shows me what kind of bills i deposited. four twenties; one ten; two fives. -amazing. -look! there's the check -- right on the receipt.

-genius. -fast. easy. i could get used to this. [ male announcer ] quick and easy atm deposits. with bank of america. never in my lifetime did i think i could walk 60 miles in 3 days. 60 miles in 3 days-- i can do that. 60 miles compared to what a cancer patient goes through is a walk in the park. from the moment i registered, people started immediately supporting me. we had an outpouring of-- of support. i wanted to do something bigger than myself. the 60 miles-- it makes a statement. i know i'm stronger than i was before, both mentally and physically. i walk with my sister. our relationship has gone to a whole new level because of training together. you meet the most wonderful, inspiring people. i knew that there was something really special about this event. when you accomplish those 60 miles, it's truly life-changing. it was three days of hope. of love. of empowerment. it was three days the way the world should be. here i am, second year in a row, and i'm already signed up for next year's. (man) register today for the...

because everyone deserves a lifetime. it can also lead to serious dental problems. [ male announcer ] new act total care dry mouth is alcohol-free and has fluoride to strengthen teeth. stronger teeth and dry mouth relief. scattered showers around the bay area. it's cold outside, too. showers should be winding down. we'll have more on that and your weekend forecast coming up. >> thank you, lawrence. still no answer to the question, will the federal government have to shut down late tonight? in fact, talks are still ongoing in washington to avoid that. let's go to joel brown, he joins us now from the nation's capital with the latest. joel, tell us more about what's happening with budget talks now. any more meetings? >> reporter: negotiators were at the bargaining table until 3 a.m. but there is still no budget deal this morning. so there is as down to the wire

as it gets. democrats and republicans are said to agree on about 70% of the budget cuts. i guess the question this morning is whether harry reid and john boehner at some point today will go back to their respective caucuses and say, look, guys, we fought as hard as we could. but this is a deal that's take it or leave it. >> the big question, what's the sticking point? i know there's many, but why can't these two politicians come together and work something out for the american people? they have to. >> reporter: yeah. they have to, frank. but what the sticking points are really depends on who you talk to. democrats say this is about one issue, that republicans are blocking a deal because they disagree with some of the federal funding for companies like planned parenthood, $300 million because think provide abortion. republicans say it's about bigger issues, like the budget cuts. it appears they are getting close on the money. there's room here or at least appears they are getting close to somewhere between the $33 billion that democrats have

agreed to in cuts and the $40 billion that republicans are demanding. >> so joel, if there is no deal by tonight, i mean, what happens next? what are the options if any? >> sydnie, it appears that stop- gap measure that the house passed yesterday with all support and some democrats is dead on arrival in the senate. democrats don't like it. the president said he will veto it if it gets to his desk. but the white house says that the president would support what they are calling a "clean" continuing resolution. that would be a temporary plan without the $12 billion in republican spending cuts. it would fund the government for another week or so and give negotiators potentially the time they need to strike a compromise. >> so midnight tonight we'll all find out whether it's extended or these two parties can figure it all out. joel brown live in washington, thank you, joel. good luck covering this today. >> thanks, joel. you think about all. -- what they consider nonessential employees who will be cut off from a paycheck, don't go to work. the soldiers who don't get paid

over in iraq and afghanistan. very tough times for their families if they can't get something done. >> and i believe a lot of things will continue. security here on the homefront and that kind of thing. a lot of nonessential things will affect all o us. phillip garrido backing out of a plea deal in his kidnapping case. why his attorney is challenge the actions of the grand jury. >> on the day of the giants home opener barry bonds could learn his fate. what he is facing if he is convicte coming up. >> what's being kept a secret at at&t park until tomorrow. ,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

you here's a check of today's top stories. the driver who hit a chp officer in san jose has now been arrested for dui. it happened just before 2 a.m. as the officer responded to an accident on the northbound interstate 880 off-ramp to bascomb avenue. the officer has a broken leg and facial injuries. it's not clear if hail on the road was also a factor in that accident. a verdict could be reached today in the barry bonds perjury trial. jury deliberations begin in just about two hours.

bonds is accused of lying to a grand jury in 2003 about taking steroids. he faces time in prison or perhaps home confinement. and alleged kidnapper phillip garrido is headed to trial in august. he pleaded not guilty to kidnapping jaycee dugard and holding her captive in antioch for 18 years. he was expected to plead guilty but his attorney says the grand jury was inappropriately selected and acted inappropriately. folks, we are trying to figure out this weather to get it straightened out for the weekend. i think it's going to work out okay. hey, we have a ballgame to do. the giants opener today. and yup, we got chopper 5 up there checking out the park right now. it is quiet but soon, we'll be filled with fans screaming and enjoying baseball back in the bay area. so we are going to try to get the weather to cooperate but we still have showers showing up around our area right now. along the peninsula showers moving in towards redwood city and palo alto popping up as the

core of the low makes its way through the bay area. that's allowing for some thunderstorms to pop up. things settling down right now. more scattered showers, no hailstorms we saw earlier today. that should continue to wind down and as it does we'll try to dry out around the bay area a bit so partly cloudy skies, temperatures still going to be cool out to the park numbers mainly into the 50s. 60s elsewhere though. right now it is chilly in spots. we have 33 degrees just hovering above freezing in fairfield, 35 in napa and 42 degrees in san jose. if you are traveling around the state, scattered showers here mainly in the morning hours. by the afternoon that should dry out and, of course, the high country looking at the possibility of some more snow up there. some very cold air plunging in from the gulf of alaska diving into the bay area bringing us unusually cold temperatures. showers end this morning and then that sets the stage for a nice weekend as high pressure begins back in. today 50s and 60s for highs. toward the afternoon hours, more sunshine and numbers up

into the 60s in the afternoon. toward the weekend chance of showers returning again on monday. gianna has traffic. >> thank you. we are actually following a developing story out of oakland right now. we just got word of a shooting at international boulevard near 39th street. again, this is in oakland. lots of police activity on scene. possible lane closures, as well. again a shooting international boulevard near 39th street in oakland. we'll get you more information as it comes in. right now, let's head to the freeways. looking live at 880 in oakland, traffic not doing bad at all. in fact, it is friday light through here. northbound just cruising along into the maze. southbound 880 a nice ride towards hayward. san mateo bridge also checking in problem-free. one of our slowest spots typical this time of the morning through antioch westbound highway 4. getting busy a street to somersville. off the bridge though traffic still very light through that portion. elsewhere we are getting word of delays for mass transit about 10 minutes for bart heading to the daly city, sfo or millbrae direction.

so give yourself some extra time. mass transit on time. bart, ace, muni metro and caltrain no troubles. later on today, caltrain has a special train leaving from san jose around 9:45. so you can use that to head to the giants game. bart will be running longer trains, as well. let's head to chopper 5 right now for a live look near at&t park. this is embarcadero. right now things are quiet. no delays to report. traffic coming offer the 280 extension to king street things look nice but later on it will be busy due to the game today. giants versus the cardinals. that's traffic. back to you. >> thank you. at&t park officially out of hibernation. >> it sure is. giants home opener just hours away. the biggest change fans will see at the stadium when they go there, all coming up. stay right there. ,,,,

hey, ellen, what are you doing? just brewing up some dunkin' donuts coffee -- want some? [ whoosh! ] i'd love some. one taste, and you'll understand. delicious dunkin' donuts coffee. pick some up where you buy groceries. america runs on dunkin'.

there is a pretty sight. >> just a couple of hours it's going to be filled with fans. >> a lot of hot dogs, a lot of popcorn. and some giants and some cardinals, big day today to say the at least. >> that's right. a few hours more and everything starts there. at&t park as well as the fans. >> i found out after a little visit there yesterday morning. >> reporter: at&t park is officially aout of hibernation. every brick and walkway polished and primed, buntings hung, banners draped and

waiting even the streets trimmed. inside the mound is perfectly groomed. the infield, the envy of mlb. willie is ready and mccovey cove is, too. after 162 days dormant, it's time to play ball. >> i think they will be on fire, awesome. can't wait. >> reporter: do you miss them? >> yes, big time. >> reporter: maybe the biggest change in the ballpark are two words. there they are, world champions. they are proudly displayed everywhere the i can see. hey, why not? players and fans are brimming with pride and it's trickled down to everyone. >> big time. big time, high expectations for everything. >> world champs. >> reporter: i officially counted the number of timed world champions is around the stadium. i have it up to 8 75. is that pretty close? >> probably pretty good. that's -- i'm sure i'm going to get that question but now we are going to have to go around and count. >> reporter: today the world series title flag will be raised in right center.

saturday the giants will don these commemorative jerseys as they get their rings. heavy bling on the jerseys, too. not to mention the price tag. >> the price tag on this baby 225. what do you think? >> for what it means to me, the price doesn't matter. really. >> reporter: really? >> yes. you would pay? >> yes. >> reporter: this home opener comes at a great time because the giants are out of the gates a little slow. they have won only two of the first six games and you know what? a little at&t tlc just might warm them up. have you seen the rings? >> i have not. >> reporter: you haven't? >> no. haven't seen the rings. >> reporter: secret , huh? >> a big secret. it is a big secret. so saturday we will all see the rings. >> kind of hush-hush over there. no one has seen the rings except for the top, top execs. but we're told they are made by tiffany's and they are not going to be these big gawdy things. there are of course be many stones in them but they will be very nice. >> we hope the giants get some

momentum from all the fans. a bit of a homecoming for tony la russa >> he was the last manager of a baseball team in the bay area with the as back in 1989 the earthquake series and lost in 1990. i'll be at momo's at noon so if you want to see a whole bunch of action tune in at noon. anne makovec and dennis o'donnell will be there. check it out. 6:27. a preprevious for caltrain at least for now. why -- a reprieve for caltrain at least for now. why more stations will stay open even though there is a budget deficit. >> oakland we have a problem. the latest communication breakdown between police and dispatchers. ice on the ground here in san jose plays a factor in a crash that injuries a chp officer. i'm kiet do with a live report coming up. >> reporter: i'm live at at&t park on a very exciting morning here for the entire bay area. we will preview the giants home series world opener coming up.

your realtime captioner is linda marie macdonald. and good morning, everyone. it is friday, the 8th of april. thanks so much for joining us. i'm sydnie kohara. >> hi, everybody. i'm frank mallicoat. it is 6:30. and it's friday. so everyone is in a good mood. we have baseball. it's going to make you happy. but it is a little chilly out there. just a little. lawrence, warm it up, would you?

>> you had to find something wrong, huh, sydnie? it's friday, great, day off tomorrow. >> then we go to you. >> now we go to me, right. we have some sunshine showing up in parts of the bay area, still some showers though as that storm system lingers and scattered showers continuing in along the peninsula. some of that down towards redwood city and the san jose area. those should begin to diminish through the morning. we are going to dry out. should be a decent day and should be a better weekend. more on that in just a moment. first a check of traffic with gianna. >> thank you. live to chopper 5, we just got word of an accident on the bay bridge. upper deck of the bay bridge just east of treasure island, couple of cars involved. tow trucks on scene. it is causing slow conditions as you work your way past the area. fire crews also on scene so injuries reported in this accident. again very slow on the upper deck. as a result they have turned on the metering lights. we are seeing delays at the toll plaza especially up the incline. also bart delays to report. all that coming up in just a few minutes. >> thank you. a driver is now under

arrest for dui after his car hit a highway patrol officer in san jose this morning. let's go to kiet do at interstate 880 and bascomb avenue where hail actually may have played a part in this crash. kiet, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. we have more details about the injured officer. he apparently broke his leg and specifically the two bones involved the shinbone and the fibula. so those are the two bones just below the knee. the officer is also a four-year veteran assigned to a patrol car. we have some video of him arriving at valley medical center in san jose this morning. he suffered some facial injuries, as well. but the chp says that the injuries are not life- threatening. at 1:30 or 2 a.m. this morning, a thunderstorm cell dumped hail out here, probably half an inch to an inch thick or so on the ground. it shut down both sections of 880 and then a driver needed help so a chp arrived on the scene to help the driver. then that's when he was struck by another driver in a pickup

truck. that other driver has been arrested for drunk driving and charged with dui. a chp spokesman says that they received quite a few calls regarding ice. >> a couple calls on both directions here near bascomb avenue with the hail because it looks like it's just basically in this area right here. down the street it's dry. so i don't know, just isolated incident right here. >> reporter: all righty. so we have some video here. this is a lot of ice that was around bascomb avenue and 880. pieces of hail around here measuring probably an 8th inch across or so. and i have some in my hand right here. you can see these pellets are still intact so it gives you an idea of how big and cold the storm cell was. the asphalt is wet but it's not slick. so that's good news for drivers and that's why you see a lot of the traffic out here behind me on 880 moving pretty well now in both directions. so things back to normal out

here. but that officer is going to be recovering from his injuries for quite some time. back to you. >> it must be very cool out there, kiet. you showed us the hail two hours ago and it's still there. thank you, kiet do in san jose. the fate of barry bonds now in the hands of a jury. they will begin deliberations 589307 this morning in the slugger's perjury trial. both sides giving closing arguments yesterday. bonds is accused of lying to a grand jury in 2003 about steroid use. if convicted, he could face prison time or home confinement. 637 4. the condition of that giants fan brutally beaten outside dodger stadium has been upgraded to stable now but bryan stow is still in a medically-induced coma. he suffered a skull fracture and bruising tonight frontal lobe of his brain during an attack on opening day. now, we caught up with a close friend of stow's after she visited him in the hospital last night. gina lenson says stow could follow simple voice commands

and is now lifting a leg. lenson also said stow would be very touched by the all the support he has been getting. >> -- by all the support he has been getting. >> he would be so excited because he lost attention so he would be so touched and so excited and i'm just devastated that he's not able to be part of it. he would be eating it up. >> giants will hold a fundraiser during monday's home game again, the dodgers. and -- against the dodgers. we are just hours away from the giants home opener. >> that's right. the reigning world series champion hoisting their world series title flag this afternoon. let's go to anne makovec. she is at at&t park with a look at the celebration, all the plans, and also we should talk about the security measures that are in place for the game. anne, good morning. >> reporter: we could not talk about this enough today. it's friday. the sun is coming up here over at&t park. very excited to be here. and we have a celebrity appearance. this is actually become a local celebrity even though it is an

inanimate object, the world series trophy on the field in all of its glory. i want you to take a look at the other end of the field. there is one flagpole that still needs a flag. that is going to house the championship flag in just a few hours at the giants home opener against the cardinals. i'm here with mario alioto the senior vice president of revenue here for the giants. obviously, a very exciting morning. >> sure is. opening day, the sun is just coming up over the ballpark and there is no better day than opening day. >> reporter: tell me about the festivities when the gates open. >> reporter: they open at 10:30, sold-out crowd, pre- gamer is miss start at 12:45. with raising of the championship flag, as you can imagine, and all the other festivities that surround opening day, you're not going to want to miss it. we have been working on it for quite a while. raising the flag will be special. >> reporter: do you have any tricks up your sleeve? >> a few. we are not going to tell you

what we're going to do but let's put it this way. we spent a lot of time yesterday rehearsing it. so we're very excited. this is really an opening day we just are so excited about. actually i can't wait until the fans get here and pull it all off. >> reporter: it's going to be a different scene from what we're seeing right now. now, i know we are not allowed to touch or walk on the grass. why is that? >> reporter: there is something special about the grass. it's like a pool table. it doesn't die if you step on it. it just kind of is reverent. we have to stay off it. let's show the world series trophy. that's the only object that can be on the field. >> reporter: thanks for joining us this morning. i think a few seagulls didn't get the measure and they have been on the field. extra security will be in place and police will be sweeping the parking lots after the game but everything is generally expecting an elated crowd at at&t park here. >> you would think they would get a table for the trophy. just put it on the grass out

there? oh, yeah. >> reporter: you know, it looks right there. it looks right. >> come on. i bet that grass is about as nice as the green at the masters this weekend. that trophy is so beautiful. >> reporter: i'm standing a few feet away and it's so close yet so far. i've tendency to want to do what you're not supposed to. so i'm really close to dodging on the field and giving the trophy a kiss but i don't want to get carted out here by about six really large guys so i'm not going to do it. >> maybe at 7:00 when you're done. >> lawrence wanted to slide into home plated. so he is worse than you. >> reporter: okay. yeah. he is going to need some special access for that to say the at least. probably from god himself. >> anne makovec having some fun. >> enjoy your morning anne. we'll see you at noon as well. >> reporter: i'll be here. the giants are celebrating the world series winning season

all weekend long so tomorrow the players get their championship rings. gates open at 5:05. the ring ceremony will start at 6:15. by the way, sammy hagar will sing the national anthem before that game starts at 7:05, train will sing today. the first 20,000 fans in the ballpark will also receive a world series commemorative key ring. 6:39. lawrence, you can't slide into home plate but i saw the sky behind anne and it looks beautiful and clear. maybe a little chilly so everybody will have to buy giants sweatshirts, right? >> i would think so before the game today. it's going to be chilly at the game. i started to think about all that food, the peanuts, the crackerjacks, all that good tasting stuff. of course you have all that at the park. it is cold though around the bay area right now. we continue to see some showers out there and you are going to have to watch out for the possibility of some thunderstorms but this is quickly winding down this morning. so i think by game time we're looking good. partly cloudy skies, temperatures mainly in fact 50s. it should be dry out there. still a chance of showers early

this morning. that will taper off throughout the day. temperatures are cold. we have 33 degrees in fairfield, 35 napa, and 42 in san jose. . this afternoon let's plan on 50s and 60s. much better weather over the weekend too. we'll talk more about that in a minute. right now let's check on traffic with gianna. >> thank you, lawrence. a video we took moments ago of chopper 5 of this accident on the upper deck of the bay bridge. three or four cars involved and you can see lots of activity on scene. injuries reported. as a result, it's causing quite a bit of a backup for the bay bridge. this is westbound upper deck of the bay bridge just east of treasure island. if we jump over to our maps, we'll show you what it's doing in regards to the sensor. traffic really slow towards the toll plaza coming off of the eastshore freeway, as well. in fact, the bay bridge metering lights are on backed up to the maze. that's traffic. back to you. >> thank you. this morning, new hope for caltrain to keep more stations alive. the board voting to delay action on proposed cuts last night. it wants to seek other ways of

funding before any decision is made. and that means the proposed closures of three stations would only be temporary. now, it is one of the plans to make up for caltrans' $30 million deficit. the board set to vote april 21. it is 6:41. google joining forces now with a major name in online travel. >> plus, down to the wire. the government facing a partial shutdown if no deal is reached by midnight. phil matier and former san francisco mayor willie brown will weigh in on what it means for us. >> and the market just opens minutes ago. let's check the early numbers. friday is a good day. green lights straight up all across the board. we'll check the numbers with jason brooks with kcbs and cbsmoneywatch.com. coming up.

the government's working anyway.
